Sorption of radionuclides onto stable colloids can significantly enhance their transport in groundwater. Batch adsorption studies were performed to evaluate the influence of various experimental parameters like initial pH, contact time, temperature and concentration of Na+ and Ca2+ ions on the sorption of Cs on clay. The sorption process is dependent on pH of the solution with distribution coefficient (K d) found to increase with increase in pH. The kinetic experiments were carried out at different temperatures, and the results have shown that the sorption process fits well into a pseudo-second-order mechanism with apparent activation energy of 45.7?kJ/mol. The rate constant was found to decrease with increase in temperature. The thermodynamic parameters such as ?G 0, ?H 0 and ?S 0 were calculated. The negative value of ?H 0 indicates that the reaction is exothermic. The negative values obtained for ?G 0 indicated that the sorption of cesium on clay was spontaneous at all studied concentrations. The distribution coefficient was found to decrease with increasing concentration of Na+ and Ca2+ ions. The cesium sorption data were fitted to Freundlich, Langmuir, Temkin and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) isotherms. The values of Langmuir separation factor (R L) indicate a favorable Cs adsorption. The values of mean free energy of sorption (E) at various temperatures ranged from 10.5 to 11.1?kJ/mol, which indicates that the sorption process follows chemisorption.  相似文献

To assess the competitive sorption and desorption of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), batch equilibrium experiments were performed using single- and binary-metal solutions in surface samples of three paddy soils from eastern China. Sorption isotherms were well fitted with one-metal and competitive Langmuir equation for single- and binary-metal system, respectively. The distribution coefficient (K d) values were K d single (Pb) > K d binary (Pb) > K d single (Cd) > K d binary (Cd), indicating that Pb was stronger sorbed by these soils than Cd in binary metal system. Soils with high pH and clay content had the greatest sorption capacity as estimated by the maximum sorption parameter (Q). The co-existence of both metals reduces their tendency of sorption, whereas Cd sorption was affected to a greater extent than that of Pb. The Langmuir binding strength parameter (b) in binary sorption system was greater than that in single sorption system for all soils (b < b 1), indicating that competition for sorption sites promote the retention of both metals into more specific sorption sites. Sorption of Cd and Pb decreased soil pH by 1.61 U for YRS, 1.39 U for PCS, and 0.91 U for SLS. The decreases of pH in binary metal system were greater than in single-metal system for three soils. Cadmium and Pb desorption increased with increasing Cd and Pb sorption saturation for all soils; however, Cd desorption ratio in binary metal system (d Cd*) was much greater than Pb (d Pb*), indicating that under the competitive sorption conditions, the sorbed Cd was more readily desorbed from the soils than the sorbed Pb.  相似文献

The mobility of strontium in subsurface is largely influenced by sorption on to clay minerals. In the present study, kaolinite clay samples collected from the Kalpakkam nuclear plant site were employed to understand the sorption characteristics of strontium by batch method. The effect of several parameters such as time, strontium ion concentration, pH, temperature and ionic strength was investigated. The kinetic studies suggested pseudo-second-order mechanism. The experimental sorption data was fitted to Langmuir adsorption model for obtaining the sorption capacity of the sorbent. The maximum sorption capacity was 5.77 mg/g at 298 K and was found to increase with an increase in temperature. It was observed that the distribution coefficient (K d) of strontium on clay increased as the pH of the solution increased. The distribution coefficient was found to decrease with an increase in concentration of Na+ and Ca2+ ions. This variation of K d suggests that cation exchange is the predominant sorption process. It was also observed that sorption process is endothermic. The thermodynamic parameters such as ∆G 0, ∆H 0 and ∆S 0 were calculated. The negative values obtained for ∆G 0 indicated that the sorption of strontium on clay was spontaneous at all studied concentrations. ∆G 0 becomes more negative with an increase in temperature, suggests that the sorption process is more favorable at higher temperatures.  相似文献

This study describes the development of scallop shell synthesized ceramic biomaterial for phosphorus removal from water. The synthesized biomaterial was characterized by scanning electron microscope, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller and X-ray diffractometer methods. The influences of contact time, initial phosphate concentration, initial solution pH, co-existing ions and temperature for phosphorus removal were investigated by batch experiments. The results indicated that the equilibrium data can be fitted by the Langmuir isotherm model at temperatures ranging from 15 to 55 °C, with the maximum sorption capacity of 13.6 mg/g. Sorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic equation model. The sorption process was optimal at a wide range of solution pH (above 2.4), with a relatively high sorption capacity level. Phosphorus sorption was slightly impeded by the presence of F?, HCO3 ? and NH4 + ions, and significantly inhibited by Cl?, SO4 2? and NO3 ? ions. Sorption process appeared to be controlled by a chemical precipitation processes. The mechanism may be attributed to ion complexation during subsequent sorption of phosphorus on scallop shell synthesized ceramic biomaterial.  相似文献

An analytical expression that evaluates the effect of pH and the redox potential (E) on Pu-colloid association was studied on a model basis. It includes surface complexation with one type of surface site and its formulation leads to a distribution coefficient (Kd) as a function of the pH (hydrolysis) and E (redox sensitive species). The formulation also considers the values of the stability and hydrolysis constants for all species present in solution and associated at the surface. Correlations between hydrolysis and surface complexation constants reported in the literature have been applied systematically to evaluate sorption of all species for each colloid system. The presence of ligands in solution was also taken into account. The model was applied to study the association of Pu onto colloids coated with AlOH, FeOH or SiOH groups in the presence and in the absence of carbonates in solution. The tests performed with the model suggest that the oxidation of Pu(III) to Pu(IV) has the potential to increase sorption, as demonstrated by the increased Kd values. Under natural conditions Pu may be present at oxidation states of (III)--(VI), and the effect of redox potential is significant because of the differences in the sorption of each oxidation state. When carbonates are present in the solution, the calculated values of distribution coefficient were lower than those calculated in the absence of carbonates, particularly in the case of Pu(VI). The Kd values obtained with the developed model are compared with experimental values reported for the sorption of Pu onto colloids. This model can equally be applied to study the sorption of other redox sensitive elements.  相似文献

The particle-solution (Kd) relationships of Pu(III,IV) in the Esk Estuary are investigated, using new experimental data together with a synthesis of our earlier work. Adsorption of 236Pu(IV) by a suspension of intertidal mud (40 mg L−1) from the Esk Estuary was determined after 1 h, as a function of salinity and pH, in a series of controlled laboratory experiments. Desorption of 239, 240Pu(III,IV) from this environmentally contaminated sediment was determined concurrently. The short term (i.e., within a tidal cycle) non-conservative behaviour of Pu(III,IV) in both the laboratory experiments and the estuary appears to be dominated by a rapid, reversible surface complexation reaction, although only a small fraction (<5%) of the 239,240Pu(III,IV) activity of the environmentally contaminated sediment is able to participate in the reaction. The existence of this exchangeable or labile fraction can explain the apparent dependence of Pu(III,IV) Kd on sediment concentration. Thus, a single Kd value is able to describe both the observed adsorption and desorption behaviour and the effect of sediment concentration, when desorption is expressed with respect to the labile 239,240Pu(III,IV) fraction. For example, in R. Esk water, the adsorption of 236Pu(III,IV) and the desorption of 236,240Pu(III,IV), over a two order of magnitude concentration range of unwashed Esk Estuary sediment, can be accounted for by a single Kd of ∼3 × 103 L kg−1. The Kd for the labile Pu(III,IV) fraction varies mainly as a function of salinity. pH is not an important factor over the pH range 4–9, although H+ ion exchange does occur, probably through a similar surface complexation reaction. The kinetic and equilibrium characteristics of the Pu (III,IV) sorption behaviour conform to the pattern observed by Jannasch et al. (1988) and other workers for a range of trace elements.  相似文献

Sorption of Ni(II) onto chlorite surfaces was studied as a function of pH (5–10), ionic strength (0.01–0.5 M) and Ni concentration (10−8–10−6 M) in an Ar atmosphere using batch sorption with radioactive 63Ni as tracer. Such studies are important since Ni(II) is one of the major activation products in spent nuclear fuel and sorption data on minerals such as chlorite are lacking. The sorption of Ni(II) onto chlorite was dependent on pH but not ionic strength, which indicates that the process primarily comprises sorption by surface complexation. The maximum sorption was at pH ∼ 8 (Kd = ∼10−3 cm3/g). Desorption studies over a period of 1–2 weeks involving replacement of the aqueous solution indicated a low degree of desorption. The acid–base properties of the chlorite mineral were determined by titration and described using a non-electrostatic surface complexation model in FITEQL. A 2-pK NEM model and three surface complexes, Chl_OHNi2+, Chl_OHNi(OH)+ and Chl_OHNi(OH)2, gave the best fit to the sorption results using FITEQL. The high Kd values and low degree of desorption observed indicate that under expected groundwater conditions, a large fraction of Ni(II) that is potentially leachable from spent nuclear fuel may be prevented from migrating by sorption onto chlorite surfaces.  相似文献

Cs migration in the environment is mainly controlled by sorption onto mineral surfaces, in particular on clay minerals. With the objective of designing a geochemical reactive barrier to treat 137Cs accidental pollution in an industrial waste repository, different natural clayrocks were studied to analyse their capacity to retain Cs.The simple semi-empiric Kd-approach for experimental data analysis, is unsatisfactory to describe the variability of sorption upon chemical changes. Indeed, due to the high salinity of the site, the effects of competitive ions must be evaluated and quantified. Thus, the development of sorption models, capable of reproducing experimental data obtained under conditions representative of the contaminated site, and applicable to reactive transport studies, is needed.In this study, a model for Cs sorption, which takes into account the main mineralogy of the sorbent, the composition of the natural water (and ion competition) was successfully applied to interpret the non-linear Cs sorption under natural conditions.The selectivity coefficients of Cs with respect to the most important cations present in the site water (Na, K, NH4, Ca) were derived by means of experiments in single clay minerals and synthetic mono-component solutions. Then, these parameters were tested in systems of increasing complexity.Considering the mineralogical composition of raw materials, it was shown that the principal contribution to Cs sorption is given by the mineral illite, while smectite starts to be relevant only at very high Cs loadings. Kaolinite, even in concentrations around 10 wt% of the clayey fraction, played only a minor role.With respect to the solution composition, the model was able to predict Cs sorption in electrolyte concentrations up to twice than that of seawater and up to 500 mg/L NH4+. The effect of highly competing ions, especially NH4+ and K+, on Cs retention is more important at low ionic strengths and low Cs loadings, where adsorption is dominated by illite selective frayed edge sites, FES. Divalent cations are not especially relevant as competing cations for Cs.  相似文献

In the present study the distribution of TBT between solid and water phase as a function of several parameters was determined. Two types of clay minerals (Na-montmorillonite SWy and kaolinite KGa) and quartz sand were used as sorbents in conventional batch experiments. Sorption coefficients (Kd) followed the order montmorillonite (89 l/kg) > kaolinite (51 l/kg) > quartz (25 l/kg), while for sorption coefficients normalized to the surface area (Kd′) an opposite trend was observed, with the lowest value determined for montmorillonite (2.79 × 10−3 l/m2) and the highest for quartz sand (8.04 × 10−2 l/m2). The results demonstrate that numerous environmental parameters influence the adsorption process of TBT, such as solid/solution ratio, clay content and salinity. Another important factor governing TBT adsorption is pH, because it affects both the TBT species in the water phase as well as the surface properties of the mineral phase. The maximum of TBT adsorption onto clays was always around pH 6–7. According to the data, it is evident that the content of organic matter in the solid phase plays an important role on TBT adsorption, either as particulate organic matter (POM) or organic matter adsorbed to mineral particles (AOM). Experiments were carried out with well characterized organic matter and the results showed a linear increase of Kd from 51 up to 2700 l/kg upon the addition of 5% of particulate organic matter to pure phased kaolinite. TBT adsorption onto mineral surfaces, which were previously enriched with adsorbed organic matter, was investigated at different pH. The present study points to the importance of identifying and characterizing sorbents and envrionmental conditions, in order to predict and model TBT distribution in natural systems.  相似文献

In the present study, adsorption of lead (II) ions from aqueous solution by alluvial soil of Bhagirathi River was investigated under batch mode. The influence of solution pH, sorbent dose, initial lead (II) concentration, contact time, stirring rate and temperature on the removal process were investigated. The lead adsorption was favored with maximum adsorption at pH 6.0. Sorption equilibrium time was observed in 60 min. The equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed by the Freundlich, Langmuir, Dubinin–Radushkevich and Temkin adsorption isotherm models. The kinetics of lead (II) ion was discussed by pseudo first-order, pseudo second-order, intra-particle diffusion, and surface mass transfer models. It was shown that the adsorption of lead ions could be described by the pseudo second-order kinetic model. The activation energy of the adsorption process (E a) was found to be ?38.33 kJ mol?1 using the Arrhenius equation, indicating exothermic nature of lead adsorption onto alluvial soil. Thermodynamic parameters, such as Gibbs free energy (?G 0), the enthalpy (?H 0), and the entropy change of sorption (?S 0) have also been evaluated and it has been found that the adsorption process was spontaneous, feasible, and exothermic in nature. The results indicated that alluvial soil of Bhagirathi River can be used as an effective and low cost adsorbent to remove lead ions from aqueous solutions.  相似文献

The effect of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on Am(III), Pu(IV), Np(V), and U(VI) sorption was investigated with natural water (pH ∼8) and zeolitized tuff samples collected from the Rainier Mesa tunnel system, Nevada Test Site, where the USA detonated underground nuclear tests prior to 1992. Perched vadose zone water at Rainier Mesa has high levels of DOM as a result of microbial degradation of mining debris (diesel, wood, etc.). The Am and Pu sorption Kds were up to two orders of magnitude lower in water with high DOM (15-19 mg C/L) compared to the same water with DOM removed (<0.4 mg C/L) or in naturally low DOM (0.2 mg C/L) groundwater. In contrast, Kds of Np and U were less affected by DOM at these solution conditions. Uranium sorption decreased as a result of high dissolved inorganic C (DIC) resulting from microbial degradation of DOM. Thermodynamic model predictions, based on actinide-humic acid stability constants available in the literature, are in general agreement with measured Kd data, correctly predicting the effects of DIC and DOM on actinide retardation. This agreement is encouraging to future modeling efforts and suggests that effects of DOM and DIC can be incorporated into reactive transport modeling predictions. The Am and Pu transport rates in Rainier Mesa tunnel waters will be substantially faster as a result of the elevated DOM levels. Low diffusion rates of actinide-DOM macromolecular complexes may focus Pu and Am transport into fractures and minimize retardation via matrix diffusion. The resulting transport behavior will affect actinide distribution patterns and associated risk estimates.  相似文献

79Se is a potentially mobile long-lived fission product, which may make a dominant contribution to the long-term radiation exposure resulting from deep geological disposal of radioactive waste. Its mobility is affected by sorption on minerals. Selenium sorption processes have been studied mainly by considering interaction with a single mineral surface. In the case of multi-component systems (e.g. soils), it is difficult to predict the radioelement behaviour only from the mineral constituents. This study contributes to the understanding of multi-component controls of Se concentrations towards predicting Se behaviour in soils after migration from a disposal site. This goal was approached by measuring selenite sorption on mono and multi-phase systems physically separated by dialysis membranes. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, very few studies have used dialysis membranes to study the sorption competition of selenite between several mineral phases. Other workers have used this method to study the sorption of pesticides on montmorillonite in the presence of dissolved organic matter. Indeed, this method allows measurement of individual Kd in a system composed of several mineral phases. Dialysis membranes allowed (i) determination of the competition of two mineral phases for selenite sorption (ii) and determination of the role of humic acids (HAs) on selenite sorption in oxidising conditions. Experimental results at pH 7.0 show an average Se(IV) sorption distribution coefficient (Kd) of approximately 125 and 9410 L kg−1 for bentonite and goethite, respectively. The average Kd for goethite decreases to 613 L kg−1 or 3215 L kg−1 in the presence of bentonite or HA, respectively. For bentonite, the average Kd decreases slightly in the presence of goethite (60 L kg−1) and remains unchanged in the presence of HA. The experimental data were successfully modelled with a surface complexation model using the PHREEQC geochemical code. The drastic decrease in Se(IV) sorption on goethite in a multi-phase system is attributed to competition with dissolved silica released by bentonite. As with Si the HA compete with Se for sorption sites on goethite.  相似文献

Strontium-90 is a beta emitting radionuclide produced during nuclear fission, and is a problem contaminant at many nuclear facilities. Transport of 90Sr in groundwaters is primarily controlled by sorption reactions with aquifer sediments. The extent of sorption is controlled by the geochemistry of the groundwater and sediment mineralogy. Here, batch sorption experiments were used to examine the sorption behaviour of 90Sr in sediment–water systems representative of the UK Sellafield nuclear site based on groundwater and contaminant fluid compositions. In experiments with low ionic strength groundwaters (<0.01 mol L−1), pH variation is the main control on sorption. The sorption edge for 90Sr was observed between pH 4 and 6 with maximum sorption occurring (Kd ∼ 103 L kg−1) at pH 6–8. At ionic strengths above 10 mmol L−1, and at pH values between 6 and 8, cation exchange processes reduced 90Sr uptake to the sediment. This exchange process explains the lower 90Sr sorption (Kd ∼ 40 L kg−1) in the presence of artificial Magnox tank liquor (IS = 29 mmol L−1). Strontium K-edge EXAFS spectra collected from sediments incubated with Sr2+ in either HCO3-buffered groundwater or artificial Magnox tank liquor, revealed a coordination environment of ∼9 O atoms at 2.58–2.61 Å after 10 days. This is equivalent to the Sr2+ hydration sphere for the aqueous ion and indicates that Sr occurs primarily in outer sphere sorption complexes. No change was observed in the Sr sorption environment with EXAFS analysis after 365 days incubation. Sequential extractions performed on sediments after 365 days also found that ∼80% of solid associated 90Sr was exchangeable with 1 M MgCl2 in all experiments. These results suggest that over long periods, 90Sr in contaminated sediments will remain primarily in weakly bound surface complexes. Therefore, if groundwater ionic strength increases (e.g. by saline intrusion related to sea level rise or by design during site remediation) then substantial remobilisation of 90Sr is to be expected.  相似文献

The mobility and bioavailability of heavy metals depends on the metal retention capacity of soil and also on the geochemical phases with which metals are associated. Laboratory batch experiments were carried out to study the sorption and distribution of Cd, Ni and Pb in 3 soils differing in their physicochemical properties from India: Oxyaquic Haplustalf (SL1), Typic Haplustalf (SL2) and Typic Haplustert (SL3). The heavy metal adsorption was studied by isotherms and the distribution coefficient (KD) for each metal was obtained from the linear regressions of the concentration of metal remaining in equilibrium solution and the amount adsorbed. In general, the sorption capacity for all the metals decreased in the order: SL3>SL2>SL1. Among metals, the sorption capacity in all the soils decreased in the order: Pb>>Ni>Cd. Distribution of sorbed metals at various equilibrating concentrations was studied by sequential extraction. Results showed significant differences in the distribution of metals in these soils. At higher additions (such as 200 μM l−1) most of the metals were extracted in their more mobile fractions, exchangeable and/or inorganic in contrast to their original partitioning in soils, where they were preferentially associated with the less mobile residual fraction. Largest percentages of metals extracted in the exchangeable fraction corresponded to those soil–metal systems with smaller KD values, e.g. Cd, Ni and Pb in SL1 and Cd and Ni in SL2. In neutral and alkaline soils (SL2, pH=7.1, and SL3, pH=8.6) Pb was predominantly extracted from the inorganic fractions and this corresponded to higher KD values for Pb in these soils. The predominance of metals associated with the exchangeable fraction together with low KD values indicates higher mobility of metals retained in the acidic soil (SL1, pH=5.2) compared with the others.  相似文献

Due to their potential retention capacity, clay minerals have been proposed for use in the engineered barriers for the storage of high-level radioactive actinides in deep geological waste repositories. However, there is still a lack of data on the sorption of actinides in clays in conditions simulating those of the repositories. The present article examines the sorption of two lanthanides (actinide analogues) in a set of smectitic clays (FEBEX bentonite, MX80 bentonite, hectorite, saponite, Otay montmorillonite, and Texas montmorillonite). Distribution coefficients (Kd) were determined in two media: water and 0.02 mol L−1 Ca, the latter representing the cement leachates that may modify the chemical composition of the water in contact with the clay. The Kd values of the lanthanides used in the experiments (La and Lu) varied greatly (25-50 000 L kg−1) depending on the ionic medium (higher values in water than in the Ca medium), the initial lanthanide concentration (up to three orders of magnitude decrease inversely with lanthanide concentration), and the examined clay (up to one order of magnitude for the same lanthanide and sorption medium). Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms were used to fit sorption data to allow comparison of the sorption parameters among smectites. The model based on the two-site Langmuir isotherms provided the best fit of the sorption data, confirming the existence of sorption sites with different binding energies. The sites with higher sorption affinity were about 6% of the total sorption capacity in the water medium, and up to 17% in the Ca medium, although in this latter site sorption selectivity was lower. The wide range of Kd values obtained regarding the factors examined indicated that the retention properties of the clays should also be considered when selecting a suitable clay for engineered barriers.  相似文献

根据X射线衍射(XRD)分析发现: A Fe3(SO4)2(OH)6(A=K+、H3O+)系列铁钒的XRD数据十分相近,难以用XRD区别,需通过能谱(EDS)辅助分析,才能区分此类铁矾。另外,此类铁矾的003和107面网间距d随K+含量增大而增大,且呈一元三次方程的关系;而033和220面网间距d随K+含量增大而减小,呈一元二次方程的关系。对该现象从铁矾晶体结构方面进行解释:K+、H3O+离子位于较大空隙中,且沿着Z轴方向排列,当K+、H3O+离子之间相互替换时,会导致该铁矾晶体结构在Z轴方向有较明显的变化。  相似文献

Adsorption of lead using a new green material obtained from Portulaca plant   总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1  
In the present study the potential of a new green material obtained from Portulaca oleracea plant was investigated. The material was used without any chemical treatment to study the adsorption behavior of lead ions from aqueous solution. Various batch experiments were carried out using different experimental conditions such as pH, contact time, adsorbent concentration, and metal ion concentration to identify the optimum conditions. The influence of these parameters on the adsorption capacity was studied. Results showed the optimum initial pH for adsorption as 6. Adsorption equilibrium was reached in 120?min. The adsorption data were modeled using both the Langmuir and Freundlich classical adsorption isotherms. Results show ~78% removal of lead from aqueous solution. The kinetic data corresponded well with pseudo second-order equation. From the initial results, the green material obtained from the waste of Portulaca seems to be a potential low-cost adsorbent for removal of lead ions from water.  相似文献

Sorption of lanthanides on smectite and kaolinite   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Experiments were carried out to investigate the sorption of the complete lanthanide series (Ln or rare earth elements, REE) on a kaolinite and an a Na-montmorillonite at 22°C over a wide range of pH (3-9). Experiments were conducted at two ionic strengths, 0.025 and 0.5 M, using two different background electrolytes (NaNO3 or NaClO4) under atmospheric conditions or N2 flow (glove box). The REE sorption does not depend on the background electrolyte or the presence of dissolved CO2, but is controlled by the nature of the clay minerals, the pH and the ionic strength. At 0.5 M, both clay minerals exhibit the same pH dependence for the Ln sorption edge, with a large increase in the sorption coefficient (KD) above pH 5.5. At 0.025 M, the measured KD is influenced by the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) of the minerals. Two different behaviours are observed for smectite: between pH 3 and 6, the KD is weakly pH-dependent, while above pH 6, there is a slight decrease in log KD. This can be explained by a particular arrangement of the particles. For kaolinite, the sorption coefficient exhibits a linear increase with increasing pH over the studied pH range. A fractionation is observed that due to the selective sorption between the HREEs and the LREEs at high ionic strength, the heavy REE is being more sorbed than the light REE. These results can be interpreted in terms of the surface chemistry of clay minerals, where two types of surface charge are able to coexist: the permanent structural charge and the variable pH-dependent charge. The fractionation due to sorption observed at high ionic strength can be interpreted either because of a competition with sodium or because of the formation of inner-sphere complexes. Both processes could favour the sorption of HREEs according to the lanthanide contraction.  相似文献

Unfertilizable fruiting buds of mango plant Mangifera Indica L, an agrowaste, is used as a biomass in this study. The efficacy of the biosorbent was tested for the removal of lead, copper, zinc and nickel metal ions using batch experiments in single and binary metal solution under controlled experimental conditions. It is found that metal sorption increases when the equilibrium metal concentration rises. At highest experimental solution concentration used (150 mg/L), the removal of metal ions were 82.76 % for lead, 76.60 % for copper, 63.35 % for zinc and 59.35 % for nickel while at lowest experimental solution concentration (25 mg/L), the removal of metal ions were 92.00% for lead, 86.84 % for copper, 83.96 % for zinc and 82.29 % for nickel. Biosorption equilibrium isotherms were plotted for metal uptake capacity (q) against residual metal concentrations (Cf) in solution. The q versus Cf sorption isotherm relationship was mathematically expressed by Langmuir and Freundlich models. The values of separation factor were between zero and one indicating favourable sorption for four tested metals on the biosorbent. The surface coverage values were approaching unity with increasing solution concentration indicating effectiveness of biosorbent under investigation. The non-living biomass of Mangifera indica L present comparable biosorption capacity for lead, copper, zinc and nickel metal ions with other types of biosorbent materials found in literature and is effective to remove metal ions from single metal solutions as well as in the presence of other co-ions with the main metal of solution.  相似文献

The sorption of Th(IV) on Na-rectorite as a function of pH, ionic strength, temperature, soil humic acid (HA) and foreign ions was studied by using a batch technique under ambient conditions. The results indicated that the sorption of Th(IV) on Na-rectorite is strongly depended on pH, ionic strength and temperature. The presence of HA enhanced Th(IV) sorption at low pH and had no obvious effect on Th(IV) sorption at high pH. The sorption of Th(IV) decreased with increasing temperature, indicating that the sorption process of Th(IV) on rectorite was exothermic. Sodium-rectorite and HA were characterized by acid–base titration to obtain the pKa, and the constant capacitance model (CCM) modeled the sorption data very well with the aid of FITEQL 3.2. HA/Th(IV) addition sequences affected Th(IV) sorption in the ternary systems. The sorption of Th(IV) on Na-rectorite may be dominated by surface complexation, while cation exchange also contributes partly to the sorption.  相似文献
